Criminal Defense
We offer strategic advocacy and support in State of Maine and federal criminal matters. Understanding that successful cases derive from investigations and legwork at the outset, we will begin immediately on your case, collecting and preserving necessary evidence even before an arrest is made. If you have already been charged, our Portland criminal law attorneys will remain steadfast in your defense to reduce or eliminate your charges and reduce penalties in your case.

We know that an injury can leave you out of work, unable to care for your children or permanently disabled. In the worst case, your family may suffer the death of a loved one. Our priority is to give you the legal support you need to return the best possible results. We will help you recover medical expenses, lost wages, long-term care needs, pain and suffering, and any other losses you have suffered.

Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution
Our lawyers engage in mediation in nearly every family law and personal injury case. We know that taking a collaborative, non-adversarial approach allows us to negotiate the terms of your settlement without costing you in time and financial expense. Mediation also allows you and other parties to devise a solution without the court stepping in with a result no one can agree to. We work with private mediators, employed privately or through the court, to referee the dispute as a judge. Please contact us for more information about mediation in family law or personal injury.
Legal Support for Members of the Military
We proudly represent Maine's soldiers and their families in family law, criminal and personal injury matters. Recently, we represented a military solider in a federal criminal drug trafficking case. We were successfully able to get a diversion for our client, which rarely happens in federal court, allowing him to return for a second tour.
Trusted Advocacy at Every Stage
Our attorneys know that every case is unique, which is why we always take a tailored approach to resolve legal disputes. Where possible, we will seek to negotiate a settlement on your behalf to minimize court fees, time and other expenses in your case. When we are unable to resolve your case out of court we are prepared to take any case to trial for a desired result.
We are dedicated to your rights and your future. Call now to speak directly with an experienced Portland attorney, 207-347-6063, or contact us by e-mail.
